Sleep isn’t just “rest.” It’s an active state where your child’s brain and body are hard at work.

During sleep, kids’ brains consolidate memories, process emotions, and strengthen neural connections. Their bodies release growth hormones, support immune function, and recharge for the next day.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this video:
🔹 The two main types of sleep: Non-REM (deep, restorative sleep vital for growth and hormones) and REM (where dreaming happens and cognitive development thrives).
🔹 How poor sleep quality affects kids’ school performance, attention span, and emotions.
🔹 Why sleep loss can mimic ADHD symptoms, increase risk of illness, weight gain, and even high blood pressure.
🔹 The emotional impact of sleep deprivation: crankiness, anxiety, and big feelings that are hard for kids to regulate.

Children are especially vulnerable to the negative effects of poor sleep because their bodies and brains are still developing. Quality sleep helps kids:
✨ Focus better in school
✨ Solve problems creatively
✨ Regulate their emotions
✨ Grow strong and healthy
